Hello! Here goes...

I haven't been a fit person for a few years. Just over a week ago, after weeks of too much lockdown food I thought it was time to get off my arse! 

I'm slowly building up doing walk/runs and I'd like to be able to run 2.6 miles none stop by the 26th May (3.1 miles or 5K by 31st May if poss!). It's not a huge distance but to do it in a month will be a challenge. If everyone who reads this gives just £2.60 then I should be able to raise a few quid (but if you can afford more that's cool too!).

Changes UK are a charity I've been involved with in one way or another for many years and I'm always inspired by the service users, my colleagues within Changes and what they achieve.

Save the UK's Charities General fundraising has been hit very hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of fundraising events have been cancelled and many charities, particularly smaller ones, are struggling to maintain services because of this huge reduction in income.This impacts all sectors of society from children to the elderly as well as the vital work in areas such as palliative care, serious diseases, mental health, housing support, food supplies and countless others that charities support.
